Tho Potato Beetle.

The Colorado potato beetle is no longer
considered rs an impossible barrier to q
good field of potatoes. Paris green leads
as certain and effectual remedy for this
pest, and, when properly applied, early,
when the potatoes and the bugs make
their start, will do its perfect work. But
Paris green must be carefully handled,
not only because it is a poison likely to
injure both man and beast, but because
when applied to the plants too strong it
Injuries the foliage almost, If not quite, as
much as do the beetles. Whether ap-
piled in water through sprinkler or in
plaster through sitter or bellows, be
sure and not have too great proportion
of the poison.
While it is easier to apply Paris green,
diluted in water, to the vines, it may be
more uniformly applied, and with less
danger to the foliage, by mixing it with
plaster. One part of pure Paris green to
100 parts of plaster, thoroughly mixed to-
gether, so that the plaster will be slightly
tinted throughout with the poison, will be
found satisfactory mixture. Sifters and
bellows for busting the vines are now
sold Mt most hardware stores at a small
cost compared with their usefulness and
convenience.

beauty. The blush upon her cheeks rivall-

Color in Cattle,

Progressive breeders are awakening to
the fact that the color craze in stock breed
ing has been carried to absurd extremes,
and if not stopped will be very detrimental
to the improvements that intelligent men
are laboring to bring about in our farm
stock. Every stock show illustrates the
ill effects of the fashion that urged the re-
lection Of all animals not of ''solid colors,"
regardless of profitable excellence in re-
spect to form, etc. A well known short
horn breeder in talk on this subject
says: "Any breeder who will select an
inferior red animal to superior animal
Of any other color libels his own charac-
ter and disgraces the short horn blood
whether he is aware Of the fact or not"

Why Railroad Rails Break.

According to railroad engineer, low tenn
teratures do not decrease the strength of rails,
as is commonly supposed. But it is never
theless true that accidents are more likely to
occur from broken rails in cold weather. The
real reason of rails breaking is that the
ground, when frozen solid. is rigid, and loses
the elasticity that acts as safeguard in
milder weather. When train runs on such
a road bed, something must yield, and as the
rail is the weakest point, it gives way.
